In May of 1997, the U.S. Biographies project was organized by Jeff Murphy, using the established KY Biographies Project as a model. State coordinators were sought to set up their own state project. They were offered the system design and tools created for the KY project, but were free to set up their project in any way they chose.

This page is part of the Utah state page. My name is Vickie, and Iím your host for the Sanpete county portion of this project.

Here are the guidelines for submitting a biography, courtesy state coordinator:

Submitting a biography is quite simple. First, review the copyright guideline below and
second prepare the biography by typing it up. You can use a text
file, html file, or just type it into an e-mail. Attatch the file to
the e-mail or place the biography within the e-mail and send it to
the appropriate county coordinator. The e-mail address and county
site link for each county coordinator is listed on the main Utah
Biographies page. Please double check with the county coordinator and
their site, as they may have more specific guidelines for preparing
biographies which may vary from county to county. If the county
doesn't yet have a coordinator or if you are unsure as to where your
biography would fit, then send it to the Utah State Coordinator.
When creating your biographies, remember to place a heading at the
top of each one that identifies your title, source book, author and
publication date. You will also need to inclue your own by-line at
the bottom of each biography as follows~
Submitted by: Your Name (Your e-mail address)
Most importantly: DO NOT post materials with copyright other than
your own! Any posted biographies found to be protected with a
copyright other than your own must be removed from all Utah and/or
county biographies pages.
Books and biographies printed prior to 1922 are generally not
protected by copyright and are considered to be in the public domain.
Photo-static reprints or duplications of pre-1922 works are not
protected by current copyright. The short story here is: make sure
your source books are pre-1922 originals, or reprints or copies of
pre-1922 originals. Make sure all original works are accompanied by
your copyright notice, which is at least the word "copyright", your
name, and the date.
Please be aware that by submitting a biography to the Utah
Biographies Project you have givin permission for a representative of
the project to examine the biography for the purposes of extracting
the names of individuals for indexing purposes. Biographies may also
be edited to append the name and e-mail address of the submitter.
A photo of your ancestor will be happily accepted and posted along with the bio on this page and the main state page

Look for your ancestor by first letter of surname......Search by first letter of surname
